Help Imperfection in my screen

I picked up my Desire last Wednesday and have just detected what looks like an imperfection in my screen. Because the spec on the box didn't mention AMOLED I assume I have an SLCD screen.

It took me a while to notice because it's in the bottom left hand corner and is usually covered by the Sense UI "buttons". It wasn't until I had a white screen down there that I saw what I first assumed to be a spec of dust but one that I couldn't remove or even feel. It actually looks like a small bubble in the glass rather than some dust stuck behind the screen.

Is this something I should be worried about? I'm still in the 14 day cooling off period, so should I consider getting the phone exchanged, do you think? (I paid
 
I'm certainly not disappointed with the phone. I love it! :D I think I will try to exchange it, but I just hope I don't get hassle with reinstalling some apps that I've paid for.

I've got a couple of videos that I took today on the phone. Would they be stored on the SD card? If so, I guess I can just retain that and put it into the new phone???

All your paid apps are tied to your Google account, so providing you're using the same account they'll be free to re-install forever on any Android phone you ever use.

And yes, all photo's and videos are on your SD card. Put them onto PC as they might expect the SD card back when you replace the phone.
